      The only risk is that if someone gets banned using your copy of a game, you’ll be banned too.

      So if you owned Rainbow Six, and your brother and as playing with your family copy and he got banned, you would be banned as well.

        Thankfully we’ve hopefully grown out of that phase but that sounds good! I don’t think I have to worry about that too much!
